Date Night, Dollar Dogs and Staples!

After a long week, Billy asked me to go with him and some friends to the Hurricanes game rather than taking Logan.  It was dollar hot dog night which was a bonus and we had great seats right on the glass.  Neither one of us had ever sat that close and we were enjoying the game until 4 minutes left in the 3rd period when a flying puck hit me in the head. Initially I had no idea what happened, I just held the side of my head trying to gather my thoughts and figure out what just hit me. As I sat there I started to feel the blood running down the side of my head. 
I'm certain that I was in shock as I walked up the steps of the arena to be check out by the medical staff. They asked me a few questions that I didn't know the answer to, really hard questions like "where are you from" and "who is the president."  After a short stay in the First Aid Station we headed off to the ER.  After a couple hours I came out diagnosed with a concussion and 4 staples in the side of my head.
As I sit here typing with a headache and my brain feeling larger than my head I am thankful it was me and not Logan who was originally going to the game.  So, currently I don't have a desire to attend another game however in the future I might just make iton ESPN because I will be the lady wearing a helmet.

The after party!  I think this was rag number 4 to stop the bleeding.
